I live in Palm Beach County, Florida. During one of the hurricanes my grapefruit tree was knocked over where it leans to one side. One side of the tree has the roots in the ground and the other side is out but the tree isn't dead, actually it seems to still be producing fruit. It is around 18 years old. I am thinking about getting rid of it and told whoever wants it that they can come and get it. One lady said she was interested it in but was wondering if transporting it from one place to another would kill it. What would be the best way to move it, if possible. Ann
Up here in the rain forest some of the most interesting trees are the survivors, they've taken the hit but keep on growing. A neighbor has a Cedar tree that was knocked over to about 45 degrees maybe 30 plus years ago. It has a main stem about 3' diameter at the butt and some 100' long, with half a dozen new vertical leaders growing up to 12" diameter and 30' tall all alongt the trunk. It's spectacular. Can you leave your tree? Ralph
